US to Intensify Refugee Screening, as Partial Ban Expires

A four-month review of the U.S. refugee program mandated by President Donald Trump ends Tuesday, but with new vetting measures on the horizon.

The State Department and Department of Homeland Security have yet to announce the details of the new screening measures.

However, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the government will require additional biographical data and a more extensive review of refugees' social media accounts prior to their acceptance.
